sew the pocket to the lining fbric first b4 you make purse,
if you're quilting the fabric... sew pocket to the lining, tn quilt fabricOR, on te outside, put a pocket in the same spot as on the inside

The easiest way to do this would be to add a matching or contrasting fabric as a liner in addition to the quilted fabric. Then simply sew the pocket to the liner. However, if you prefer to use the underside of quilted fabric for the liner . . .you can handsew the pocket to the inside before constructing the purse by simply stitching through the lining layer only. Alternatively . . .consider a larger pocket on the outside of the purse to hide the stitching you make when stitching on the pocket to the lining.
